Speaker Iu behalf of tho Committee of Invitation, I have the pleasure of introducing to you, and through you to the House of Representatives, one, the announcement of whose name awakeus thrilling recollections of a presence which changed the rout of "Cedar Creek" to victory, and of a leader under whom brave men have rode to repeated triumphs. I name our guest, M&j.-Gen. P. II. tSheridan. General Sheridan was then conducted to the Speaker's stand, when The SPEAKER (Mr. Parrott,) rcspouded as follows : Sl'BAKKK I'AKBOTT'B STEECir. Grnkrai. This occasion puts upon mo a most agreeable olllcc. To act as tlie organ of the Representatives of the people of Ohio in the expression of their grateful admiration for the humblest soldier wnoso ami struck a good blow for the Hag of the Republic in its hour of peril, would be a high pleasure. Still more grateful does that olllcc become when these Representatives, all of whom share a feeling of pride in theglorious record of an " illustrious countryman," and some of whom have fought by his side or followed his lead on various Ileitis of battlo, bid me welcome to this hall one whoso valor, whose skill in arms aud whoso success hare made the nameof "Cavalry Sheridan" familiar wherever the science of war is studied, whose distinguished gallantry marked him the Ncy of our armies, of whom It might be said, as it was of Henry of Navarre, "If the standard falls, the white plume of tho Prince will show the way to the thickest fight." And when we add that this soldier, so renowned; for successful .military leadership, so fuirly entitled to gratitude for the measure in which his personal exertions contributed k' the national salvation, has by bis splendid deeds reflected new lustre upon the nams of this his native State, that he is from us aud of us, the measure of our gratification at this opportunity to welcome him to these halls and to this presence, that wc may do him honor, becomes complete. Tho patriotism, and bravery, and skill lu arms, which met and mastered treason in the Held, justly challenge our admiration, but the incorruptible honor, the unwavering fidelity to a great trust, and the instinctive sagacity which detected and de feated the subtle plottiiiKS or disarmed but vet defiant rebellion no less claim our praise, and while wc gratefully remember your achievements In arms, wc feel but little lens Indebt ed for the stern purpose you have shown to make the vanquislied respect the victorious flag and all It represents, alike upon the lonely savannahs of the Gnlf or In tho sullen streets of the Crescent City. We deslro most earnestly an tsrly resumption of our old' relations with the States that lately sought to dispart the Federal Union, but wo demand before nil that devotion to that Uulon shall be the mark for honor nnd not for persecution, that the fruit of victory shall be security to the life nnd the rights of even the lowliest subject everywhere within Its limits. It seems, I know, ungraceful to pralso it man to Ids face, but the necessity, General, of nlluding to your career, which cannot be named but in the language of praise, must bo my aK)logy. Ohio has no cause to cover her part In the war thnt bloody treason brought upon us. Her sons were in the first battle that wns fought with the Confederate forces, and were part of that triumphant host to which the tlnnl surrender of the beaten foe was made. With unstinted hand she poured out to ev-cry battle-Held the best of her youth, until her levies swelled from thousands to tens of thousands, nnd ten times tens of thousands ; and once, Just when tho golden grain upon her hills wns ripened Ibr the reaper, sho sent her women to the unwonted task of gathering the harvest, and calling her formers from the Held, she forwarded, before that moon was old, forty thousand men to guard Grant's rear, and so ennbled him to movo forward to the Inst victory over the armed rebellion. In the necrology of the war sho points with subdued exultation to tho names of Lytic, of Sill, of McPherson, stricken down In glorious death upon fields scarce won. And rising to greater hlghts of congratulation, she lays her hand upon Grant, whose 'logged purpose would not bo turned aside from final victory, nnd upon Sherman, whose strategic skill left behind him a bewildered foe, and inarching through the breadth of the land, cut tho body of the rebellion in twain; and embracing bctwisjn these one whose coming to the field nt Winchester, tore victory out of the very Jaws of defeat. She claims these for her sons. With a nobler pride than swelled the bosom of ths Romnn nation, she points to this splendid trinity of captains, saying, hero tire my Jewels. Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, I have now the pleasure of Introducing to you one of the ons of our State, MaJ. Gen. Philip Sheridan. To which General Slierldnn replied as follows:Oknti.kmk: I reel very highly honored by this Haltering reception by the House of Representatives of my native State. On motion r Mr. BRUFF, tho House thereupon took n recess for fifteen minutes, when the members were severally Introduced to Oviiernl Slierldnn by the committee. After whli h the House was called to order by the Speaker, mid, On motiou or Mr. I.OCKWOOD,adjourned.

Speaker Iu behalf of tho Committee of Invitation, I have the pleasure of introducing to you, and through you to the House of Representatives, one, the announcement of whose name awakeus thrilling recollections of a presence which changed the rout of "Cedar Creek" to victory, and of a leader under whom brave men have rode to repeated triumphs. I name our guest, M&j.-Gen. P. II. tSheridan. General Sheridan was then conducted to the Speaker's stand, when The SPEAKER (Mr. Parrott,) rcspouded as follows : Sl'BAKKK I'AKBOTT'B STEECir. Grnkrai. This occasion puts upon mo a most agreeable olllcc. To act as tlie organ of the Representatives of the people of Ohio in the expression of their grateful admiration for the humblest soldier wnoso ami struck a good blow for the Hag of the Republic in its hour of peril, would be a high pleasure. Still more grateful does that olllcc become when these Representatives, all of whom share a feeling of pride in theglorious record of an " illustrious countryman," and some of whom have fought by his side or followed his lead on various Ileitis of battlo, bid me welcome to this hall one whoso valor, whose skill in arms aud whoso success hare made the nameof "Cavalry Sheridan" familiar wherever the science of war is studied, whose distinguished gallantry marked him the Ncy of our armies, of whom It might be said, as it was of Henry of Navarre, "If the standard falls, the white plume of tho Prince will show the way to the thickest fight." And when we add that this soldier, so renowned; for successful .military leadership, so fuirly entitled to gratitude for the measure in which his personal exertions contributed k' the national salvation, has by bis splendid deeds reflected new lustre upon the nams of this his native State, that he is from us aud of us, the measure of our gratification at this opportunity to welcome him to these halls and to this presence, that wc may do him honor, becomes complete. Tho patriotism, and bravery, and skill lu arms, which met and mastered treason in the Held, justly challenge our admiration, but the incorruptible honor, the unwavering fidelity to a great trust, and the instinctive sagacity which detected and de feated the subtle plottiiiKS or disarmed but vet defiant rebellion no less claim our praise, and while wc gratefully remember your achievements In arms, wc feel but little lens Indebt ed for the stern purpose you have shown to make the vanquislied respect the victorious flag and all It represents, alike upon the lonely savannahs of the Gnlf or In tho sullen streets of the Crescent City. We deslro most earnestly an tsrly resumption of our old' relations with the States that lately sought to dispart the Federal Union, but wo demand before nil that devotion to that Uulon shall be the mark for honor nnd not for persecution, that the fruit of victory shall be security to the life nnd the rights of even the lowliest subject everywhere within Its limits. It seems, I know, ungraceful to pralso it man to Ids face, but the necessity, General, of nlluding to your career, which cannot be named but in the language of praise, must bo my aK)logy. Ohio has no cause to cover her part In the war thnt bloody treason brought upon us. Her sons were in the first battle that wns fought with the Confederate forces, and were part of that triumphant host to which the tlnnl surrender of the beaten foe was made. With unstinted hand she poured out to ev-cry battle-Held the best of her youth, until her levies swelled from thousands to tens of thousands, nnd ten times tens of thousands ; and once, Just when tho golden grain upon her hills wns ripened Ibr the reaper, sho sent her women to the unwonted task of gathering the harvest, and calling her formers from the Held, she forwarded, before that moon was old, forty thousand men to guard Grant's rear, and so ennbled him to movo forward to the Inst victory over the armed rebellion. In the necrology of the war sho points with subdued exultation to tho names of Lytic, of Sill, of McPherson, stricken down In glorious death upon fields scarce won. And rising to greater hlghts of congratulation, she lays her hand upon Grant, whose 'logged purpose would not bo turned aside from final victory, nnd upon Sherman, whose strategic skill left behind him a bewildered foe, and inarching through the breadth of the land, cut tho body of the rebellion in twain; and embracing bctwisjn these one whose coming to the field nt Winchester, tore victory out of the very Jaws of defeat. She claims these for her sons. With a nobler pride than swelled the bosom of ths Romnn nation, she points to this splendid trinity of captains, saying, hero tire my Jewels. Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, I have now the pleasure of Introducing to you one of the ons of our State, MaJ. Gen. Philip Sheridan. To which General Slierldnn replied as follows:Oknti.kmk: I reel very highly honored by this Haltering reception by the House of Representatives of my native State. On motion r Mr. BRUFF, tho House thereupon took n recess for fifteen minutes, when the members were severally Introduced to Oviiernl Slierldnn by the committee. After whli h the House was called to order by the Speaker, mid, On motiou or Mr. I.OCKWOOD,adjourned.
